There is no easy solution, I'll will have to go back rewrite this
code, and will document the result. I expect the result will displease
someone, but given the original code that is just going to happen.

Busted cases:
                           correct           incorrect
Original code: 127.2   =>  127.0.0.2         127.2.0.0
inet_pton:     10.0    =>  10.0.0.0          fails invalid
inet_aton:     10      =>  10.0.0.0          0.0.0.10

The problem was Alexey (or Jamal) invented their own abbreviation format
and did not follow unix standard conventions.
